[Elecraft] DMM advice?

[Jim Wiley]

Louis -

The Velleman 890L is a versatile instrument at a reasonable price.  It 
has all the usual functions plus capacitance measurement, transistor 
hFE, temperature (includes probe), frequency to 20 KHz,  current ranges 
to 20 amperes, and auto-shutoff so you don't run the battery down.  
Price is typically about $35.00  to $ 45.00 depending on where you 
order.  There are probably better units out there if cost is no object, 
but the combination of features and price will be hard to beat.

The usual disclaimers apply.  Good luck.
